They're looking pretty good. The hammer in the second picture is covering the feature on the heal end. What is it? Do you have pictures out of the stand, I'd like a look at the whole tool. Frosty The Lucky.

Oh great, where is the kid asking about the Korean titanium steel alloy? He's going to be moving in next door to you if he finds out. If his Mom will let him that is. Frosty The Lucky.

Pretty slow Neil, trolls are only about half fast on a good day. Frosty The Lucky.

You're killing me Göte! This is a family site and you're posting such great adult straight lines! Frosty The Lucky.

Make it long enough to reach the back wall and install a ledger to rest on. If the closet isn't deep enough see the suggestion about putting a turn in the hook so it hangs at an angle. Of course folding the cloth is out. right? Frosty The Lucky.

I didn't read the article, does it say where the torsion occurs? 5"x10" is rectagular tubing and judging by the pics I'd guess it's wracking sideways if it's moving. It's what you get for not gusseting frames where the force is applied on pivot points. That's just a quick look guess mind you and I'm wrong often enough. Frosty The Lucky.

How are you deburring? The last pic is looking close. You are lighting it in the forge yes? Post a pic of the flame one in the door one from the side so I can see what the dragon's breath looks like. Frosty The Lucky. If you're actually putting the refractory in the T you're going to need to wear the dunce cap Mr. McNeil. I need a pic, I'm not seeing what you mean in my dented up head's view screen. Some I get, some is just . . .weird looking. Frosty The Lucky.

I address my anvil from the diagonal if necessary, I find being able to use the anvil as a gauge for splitting is very handy. Sometimes I will rest the held end on the point of the horn if I need a fiddly precise split. For a lot of things though I find myself standing at an angle off the tail. Hmmm, there might be a good reason to try an octagonal shank eh? Frosty The Lucky.

Ayup, probably one of the most accurate descriptive names I know of. Frosty The Lucky.

So long as you don't go with lighter you should be fine. It's only a little adjustment in some of the measurements to make that kind of modification. Of course I've never built a press like that so I could be way off. Got salt? Frosty The Lucky.

I get you, side to side movement, I'd call wobble or maybe rattle. It's gotta go no matter what it's called, the clip ought to work a treat. Certainly easier than upsetting enough for a square shank. I'll do all kinds of things rather than upset very much. Frosty The Lucky.

It looks pretty good, How's it work? Doesn't the weight of the long shaft keep it from bouncing? Frosty The Lucky.

That's a good read. Thank you Neil. Frosty The Lucky.

A sleeve to keep the cloth from resting directly on the hanger is a good idea and I think a high quality clear coat on the rest should do for many years. I have wire coat hangers I brought with me from California more than 43 years ago. Maybe find out what they're coated with? Frosty The Lucky.

Looking pretty nice Spanky. Have you thought about doing a little wood grain texture? Wait, those are jewelry aren't they? So smooth would better. Frosty The Lucky.

Cement overshoes?! That's a bit drastic isn't it Steve? I mean sure folk who not only don't look in directories are as annoying as the ones who don't read: FAQs, stickies, related topics, go to libraries, and such but just shout out questions in general but what the hey we have to have some entertainment. You could just save him in the IPS cloud instead. Oh wait, that WOULD be cruel something quick like drowning would be more humane. . . Nevermind. Frosty The Lucky.

The only time I've added water to a charcoal fire is to put it out. I control the size and shape of the fire with bricks arranged around the duck's nest and how much fire there is with fuel and blast. Frosty The Lucky.

Just move the hook to the center and let the cloth keep it level. If there isn't room to let it hang cross ways to the rod then put a turn in the hook so it hangs at an angle remaining horizontal in the closet. Yes, SS to prevent stains. Frosty The Lucky.

Hitting the hydraulic supply is a good idea I've never been in one that didn't have just about everything. One in a port city is likely to have fittings to any country's standards. We have a rubber and hose supply that is THE place to go for oddball fittings. Anchorage is a port city and air hub. Frosty The Lucky.

I was getting the wrong idea. Good to know I hate thinking ill of someone even for a good reason. No problem with Devil Forge integrity glad to know. Spending another $50 +/- to get it up and running is economical. If it's going to take a little while to get the reg and fittings you should hold off washing the Kaowool till you get the second layer. ITC-100 is too expensive to put where it's not needed. Keep us posted, we're pulling for ya. I was just reading and replying to a thread about adapting a Brit fitting to an American propane tank or visa versa. The suggestion came up to try a hydraulic supply and I remembered hitting a rubber and hose supply. IIRC Walla Walla is inland but you have an airport so being able to match parts from all over the world is important. Frosty The Lucky.

What BS. Selling a product you have to convert to use? Do they let you know that before you pay for it? Frosty The Lucky.

You're not likely to find a pristine Soderfors that size for that little so I'd say that's about as good as you can expect. Nimba are top shelf anvils made in America from modern high quality steel and professionally heat treated. Pretty hard to beat. Frosty The Lucky.

It doesn't come with fittings usable in the States? That doesn't sound like such a good recommendation to me. Have you called Devil Forge? You shouldn't have to go buy special components to use the thing. Frosty The Lucky.

Black Sand Beach should be a good spot to extract magnetite. Thinking about it a little later it's not cyanide that turns so many mineral such pretty reds and oranges it's usually arsenic. Nope, the list so long the life so short is no mystery to us or our spousal units. Frosty The Lucky.

I've been getting forbidden or I would've replied sooner. You're not getting it, calm down. Draw a circle on a piece of paper, draw a horizontal line through the center. The jet should NOT reach this line to start tuning. That is the starting gap. That is an illustration if you cut a mig tip to match a circle on a piece of paper rather than the air port on your burner I'm going to insist you wear a dunce cap and sit in a corner. Taking the mig tips out, putting different ones in, lighting them without the burner attached isn't going to do you any good at all. Just follow the steps, this isn't about randomly trying things till something "works". It's like doing algebra follow the steps and show your work. Frosty The Lucky.
